Commissioners designate Pondera as 4th Class county
The commissioners had a light agenda on the table for their regular Wednesday meeting.
There were no abatements or contracts to cover.
A resolution, R-5, was passed on a 3-0 vote that designated Pondera County as a Fourth Class county.
The Class of a county is determined by the taxable valuation for the year in which such order is made in accordance with the MCA codes. The taxable valuation of the county is $19,759,618.
